Chapter 260: The Return of Rand and the Great Crisis

Tanr and Fenris's vacation is coming to an end.

Originally I was going to have a comfortable holiday, but now I've been feeling uncomfortable all over for several days.

The legendary Crimson King, Saint of the Torch Church, came to this land in person.

And they are still obvious traitors of the Torch Church.

Although the adult didn't seem to have any intention of cleaning them out now, they still felt uneasy.

Fortunately, the holiday is finally coming to an end.

They had never been so eager for the holiday to end.

We are now in a period of change, and the pioneering knights are heading to the areas to be developed here.

The Southern Kingdom's support for the Anti-Development Committee is also ongoing, but according to Rand, it will not be in place in the short term.

However, out of caution, Rand dispatched Tanr and Fenris to Full Moon Territory.

As for Rand, he will have to return to Crescent Territory for a while.

Before, when Rand was occupying the Pero Territory, the White King sent a letter saying that he would come over in the near future for an official visit.

Rand's transfer of Fenris and Tanr was also issued at that time.

Although Rand didn't understand why a king would visit him, a viscount, in such a formal manner.

But since the White King has decided to visit, he must take it seriously.

However, as a viscount, the gap between him and the king is too big, so Rand wants to discuss with Ellie how to welcome him.

I always feel that his territory cannot hold a welcoming ceremony of sufficient standard.

"I'm back again." Rand smiled. When he was about to reach the holiday villa, he received an urgent letter from Ellie.

But he was only a short distance away from the holiday resort, so he did not look directly on the horse, but planned to ask Ellie directly when he arrived at the hideout.

The air in the holiday villa was as peaceful as ever, at least not filled with the smell of blood or fish.

Except for earthquakes.

Another earthquake occurred in the resort.

But Rand was no longer surprised. Before he left the holiday villa and went to Full Moon Territory, there were earthquakes from time to time.

Rand was on his way to the upper hideout.

On the way, Rand also saw a beautiful blonde girl who looked familiar.

It's just too far away and I can't see it clearly.

But Rand didn't have time to go over and take a closer look. He had to go see Ellie first and ask her what the urgent letter was about.

Walking quickly up the stairs leading to the upper hideout, Rand already missed his giant stone lord's chair.

In the distance, Karin also noticed Rand.

As soon as Rand entered the gate of the resort, Karin confirmed Rand's identity.

Unexpectedly, I could hardly feel the power from the evil god, and I felt like just an ordinary person.

It felt no different than when I met him before on King's Road.

If Karin was still in her prime, she would go and confirm the identity of this cult leader without hesitation.

But now, sensing from a distance, she could not confirm the details of Rand's appearance.

While hesitating, Rand went to the hideout on the upper floor.

Karin felt ashamed, although rationally she shouldn't face the cult leader who might be a king at this time.

But she still felt ashamed of her cowardice.

I didn't expect that the cult leader would come back here so early.

Now it's time for her to make a decision, even though the previous agreement said that the last meeting with Elsa, Ellie, and the three people from the Torch Church should be treated as if it never happened.

But we certainly won’t pretend that it never happened.

The cult leader will soon learn of the Crimson King's presence here.

It was still not too late for her to leave here, but if she stayed any longer, she would definitely come face to face with the cult leader soon.

How can I allow others to sleep soundly next to my bed!

Karin bit her lip. She hadn't hesitated like this in a long time.

Weakness and reason.

Karin thought for a moment, then walked quickly for a distance in the holiday villa and came to the house rented by Bishop Kahn.

At this time, Bishop Kahn was just about to go out.

"According to your judgment, what is the strength level of this Lord Rand?"

Bishop Kahn was not surprised by this question, because he probably already knew that Karin's strength was probably not at its peak, so it was normal for him to hesitate: "Based on her pace, breathing, physique, and my experience, she is not even as good as the top professionals."

Karin felt relieved, based on her previous judgment of Viscount Rand on King's Road.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Rand is hiding his strength.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But at least I have found a reason to convince myself.

Karin wasn't one to back down.

But if he really backs down now, the next time he has a chance to confirm Rand's identity, it might be when his strength recovers to the king level.

According to the current progress, it is estimated to take more than ten years, or it may never be done.

Karin didn't say anything more, turned around and headed for the upper hideout.

At this moment, the ground shook.

People in the holiday villa have become accustomed to earthquakes during this period, but the frequent occurrence of earthquakes is still worrying.

Rand sat in his lord's chair, where Ellie was already waiting.

"What does the expedited letter contain?" Rand asked.

When Ellie was about to explain, Elsa also appeared here.

“Emergency!”

Rand looked at the dusty Elsa: "What?"

"The ruins, something happened to the ruins. The golem really came up from the tenth floor and is about to reach the surface." Elsa spoke quickly.

Rand looked at Ellie with a serious expression, "Can the interference gem still be used?"

"Can."

He had made a plan for this, and the alchemical reagents for cutting the surface of the iron golem were also configured and stored in advance.

"Then let's set off now." Rand's expression remained solemn.

Rand knew very well that the iron golem on the tenth floor was even larger and more powerful than the one he had dealt with before.

Moreover, we were able to deal with the iron golem before with the help of the giant snake, but there is no giant snake now.

It is not certain whether it is possible to destroy the golem before it causes great damage with just ordinary weapons, interference gems, and dissolved alchemical reagents.

Rand led everyone towards the ruins.

And just arrived at the door of the hideout.

Rand saw the familiar-looking blonde girl again.

The distance is very close now, at least with Rand's decent eyesight.

You can see the details of the blonde girl's face.

Rand remembered who this person was.

Isn’t this the Crimson King, the Saint of the Torch Church?

I've seen it before on King's Road.
